R.E.M. 1997 - 2011

The Big Mates take a brief pause to discuss ratings, rankings,
audience demands, and the career of R.E.M. from 1997 -
2011.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas talk about their feelings so far on the
band, having now covered the five records that encompass the
second half of their career at Warner Bros. They place each album
previously covered into the context of this era, they return to
each album with more experienced ears, and they talk about how
they feel about them now.

They chat context, albums, preconceptions, expectations, and much
more before offering up their individual Top 10 R.E.M. (1997 -
2011) songs. These have been compiled into our second "Best
Of R.E.M." compilation, available (alongside previous Best Ofs)

far? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
